IPC: H04B10/00
Filed: 1997-01-06
Abstract: (57)【要約】
複数の受信機（２４−３０）の動作を制御するための送信機（１０）及びトランシーバ（１１）を含む通信システム。送信機はデータパッケージをＩＲ信号として伝送し、且つトランシーバからのＩＲパッケージの送信を検出するための受信機（１６）を有している。トランシーバは送信機からＩＲパッケージを受信し、送信機からのＩＲパッケージを複数の受信機の何れか１つ以上に送信する。送信機が停止信号（１５）を伝送する場合、これは、トランシーバがデータパッケージ間のスペースモードと成る迄、トランシーバによって送信又は受信されない。これによって、送信機とトランシーバ間での統制された送信が可能となり、送信機からの信号がトランシーバ出力信号と重ならないことが保証される。

Patent MX-149275-A (MX)
Inventor: WOOD ROBERT JOHN
IPC: G06F11/32
Filed: 1981-02-25
Abstract: A monitor for logic circuits detects loss of redundancy within the monitored circuit and designates that portion thereof which is out of service. Loss of redundancy is detected by sensing the passage of normal load current, or a portion thereof, through shunt current paths; the occurrence of such current flow coupled with the direction of flow uniquely determining the portion of the logic circuit which is out of service. In a preferred form of the invention, a low ohmic valued resistor is connected in each shunt current path. Upon loss of redundancy, a voltage signal generated across at least one such resistor, is applied to one or more parallel connected amplifiers responsive to the signal to activate corresponding switching circuits and audio/visual indicators.

Title: Selective application of herbicide to weeds uses reflection of monochromatic light beams to discriminate target.
Inventor: BECK JIM
IPC: G01J3/50
Filed: 1993-07-27
Abstract: An apparatus and a method are provided for selectively eliminating weeds in agriculture operations. To provide selective elimination, at least two light (radiation) emitters, powered by an internal power source, are modulated to switch on and off at very high speeds. Each emitter emits radiation of a different emitter wavelength. The on/off modulation of one emitter is phase shifted by approximately 90 DEG  with respect to the modulation of the other emitter. The pair of emitters are focused on a particular spot on the ground. The light beams, provided by the emitters, are reflected off a plant or the soil and are intercepted by a photodetector. Because plants have a characteristic spectral reflectance in regions of the electromagnetic spectrum which can be discriminated from the spectral reflectance of the background earth, the relative amplitudes of the reflected radiation at the two emitter wavelengths varies depending on whether the radiation is reflected off a plant or the soil. A ratio of the radiation at the two emitter wavelengths received by the photodetector is converted to a phase. This phase is compared to an initial reference phase of the modulation of one of the emitters. A controller uses this phase information to determine the presence or absence of a plant and then eliminates the weed.

Title: Reconstituted animal embryos prepared by using unactivated oocytes as cytoplast recipients for nuclear transfer
Inventor: CAMPBELL KEITH HENRY STOCKMAN
IPC: A61K35/54
Filed: 1996-08-30
Abstract: A method of reconstituting a non-human animal embryo which involves transferring a diploid nucleus into an oocyte which is arrested in the metaphase of the second meiotic division. The oocyte is not activated at the time of transfer, so that the donor nucleus is kept exposed to the recipient cytoplasm for a period of time sufficient to re-program the nucleus and subsequently activate the reconstituted embryo.  The diploid nucleus can be donated by a cell in either the G0 or G1 phase of the cell cycle. Correct ploidy is maintained during activation, for example, by incubating the reconstituted embryo in the presence of a microtubule inhibitor such as nocodazole. The reconstituted embryo may then give rise to one or more live animal births.

Abstract: A compound of Formula I, where: R1 is -L1-RA where L1 is selected from a covalent bond, -O-, -S(O)  t-,  -C(X)-, -NR7-, -NR8C(X)NR9-, -X'C(X)-, -C(X)X'-, -X'C(X)X", -NR8C(X)-, -C(X)NR8-, -NR8C(X)X'-, -X'C(X)NR8,  - S02NR8-,  -NR8SO2- and -NR8S02NR9-, and where RA is selected from  -OH,  -OG, -SH, -C02R20, alkoxylcarbonyl,  -CN,  halo, haloalkoxy,  perfluoroalkoxy, -CHO,  -NR7R7'  -C(X)NR8R9,  - OSO2R11,  alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, perfluoroalkyl, aryl, and heterocycle R2, R3, and R4 are independently hydrogen or R1; or R1  and R2 together are -X*-Y*-Z*, where X* is -O- or -CH2-, Y*  is-C(O)- or -(C(R12)(R13))v-, and Z* is selected from  - CH2-,-CH2S(O) t-,-CH2O-, -NR7-,-CH2NR7-, -O- L2 is selected from a covalent bond, alkylene, alkynylene, - NR7-, -C(X)-, -O-, and -S(O) t-; R5  is  halo, hydrogen, -C(=NR7)OR10, or -CN, provided  that when  R5  is halo, hydrogen, -C(=NR7)OR10, L2 is a  covalent bond,  or  R5  is  alkyl, alkynyl, cycloalkyl,  heterocycle, aryl R6 is hydrogen or alkyl; or -L2-R5  and  R6 together are selected from =O,  a  group  of formula II or a group of formula III. R16 and R16' are independently hydrogen or alkyl; or R16 and R16' together are alkenyl of two carbons; a  broken line represents the optional presence of a  double bond,  provided that when R16 and R16' together are  alkenyl of two carbons, the double bond is not present; Y is selected from carbon, nitrogen, and N+(-O-); R17  is absent or hydrogen or alkyl, provided that when  the double  bond  is present, and Y is nitrogen or N+(-O-),  R17 is absent; and R18 and R18' are independently hydrogen or alkyl; or R18  and  R18'  together are a cycloheteroalkyl  ring  or  a cycloalkyl ring. Also  described  is a pharmaceutical composition  comprising the compound of formula I. The  compounds  of  formula  I are  useful  for  selectively modulating   the   activation,  repression,   agonism,   and antagonism effects of the glucocorticoid receptor.
